Nobody is talking about trading down from 1-9 to the fifth round.

Not the 5th - the 7th!  If Poles trades down 124 time the Bears will have every pick in the 7th round - I ran the numbers.

If Poles was absolutely in love with someone at 9 there wouldn't be any talk of a trade down.  He must have similar grades for a group of players he's targetting.

No you arent Jeff. Agreed. But as you trade down the talent level goes down. And your ability to find quality goes down. Its why players have talent grades.

The problem as I see it is getting talent ready to start/compete and not having to wait years to become quality players. And yes I know you can find starters down the ladder.

My point is I dont want to wait 5 years to become relative. Its why I asked the question about the Maryland OT. He seems to be pretty green and not NFL ready.

And I firmly believe we need to use #9 on top grade talent at some position of need such as 3 technigue or OT.

Jeff

"Chicago dropped eight spots in Round 1 but picked up a massive haul in its trade with Carolina, allowing it to keep premium picks in this draft and add future capital as well. And if it wants to add an instant starter at No. 9, offensive tackle is the position to target. I like Wright’s opportunity with the Bears if we’re strictly looking at right tackles, since Braxton Jones held his own on the left side last season. Wright started 27 games at right tackle in college; his tape against Will Anderson Jr. and Alabama was phenomenal. He’s the best right tackle in this class. My pal Louis Riddick is a huge fan too. This is a selection to keep quarterback Justin Fields clean."

See we had the worst record in the NFL last year. We HAD the #1 pick in this draft and we traded it. Now we have the #9 pick. We should get a top 10 player there @9.

My feeling is we need to get the best quality players we can get at positions of need

I would agree with that. They need to be careful not to trade quality for quantity. If they can stay fairly high up the ladder it may work out fine....

Yeah, I am tired of Rinky, Dinky and Mo and athletic guys that jump out of pools.

interview

After listening to the Marinelli interview, I had to look up standing broad jump combine results for DT and Edge.  Would be interesting to see if some of the guys at the top get drafted by the Bears.  Obviously like any player in the draft no sure thing as Gilbert jumped just under 10' but sucked on the field.

 If not Carter then build around protecting the franchise player.

 Where do we start and when do we begin ?

 How far of this year do you think is going to be our year ?

 This is a pessimistic number : 9 - 8 .

Assuming no substantial injuries to the QB or the Oline, I think 11 or 12 wins is a reasonable shot.

A .500 season (whatever that is with a 17 game season) would be a step in the right direction, with 2 of those wins against Green Bay..

The thing to keep in mind is that these players they drafted arent all plug and play playersexcept their #1 pick.

There is going to be a lot of work to do to to get these draftees up to NFL quality.
